Little Horwood Recreation Ground

Update from the Recreation Ground Committee – May 2011

Thank you to all that supported our Open Day on the 22nd May at the Recreation Ground.

We feel that the new developments really help us in our aim to ‘provide well-maintained, 'fit for purpose' and safe recreational facilities for the village, which are easily accessed by all, and cater for a wide variety of recreational and leisure activities for villagers, the wider community, and visitors to the village’.

With a grant of £17,440 from AVDC’s Community Chest, a partnership with Vale Aylesbury Housing, we were able to provide the village with a MUGA, a multi use games area - offering Tennis, football, Basket ball

We were lucky enough to be awarded a grant for £9,269 from the Big Lottery Fund, through their Awards for All programme. The grant enabled us to develop the hard-standing area outside of the hall, improve access into the hall and create a driveway, which means we now have a car park.

Waste Recycling Group Limited (WRG) is the landfill operator which donates a percentage of its landfill taxes to WREN via the Landfill Communities Fund. Without WRG’s fantastic generosity WREN would not have been able to give us a grant for £46,000 to fund the toilet refurbishments, the PV panels and the rainwater harvesting system

The whole community is encouraged to use these new facilities for events, evening classes, sport clubs etc…
